Those Brown Eyes

This is one of my top favourite songs from the 404 era. The song has a great energy and I have always had fun performing this song and what makes it even more unusual I was not the principle writer… Continue Reading →

The Best We Can

I’m scared like everyone, doing what has to be done. the opening line of this song says it all really, we do the best we can even when we would rather run away from it. Not running from a fight,… Continue Reading →
